heavy smoking and ethanol intake
>50 y.o
diet, achlasia, HPV, plummer vinson
M4:1F
blacks 8:1caucasians
fermented milk- kenya
26
Q

prognosis SCC esophagus

A

5 yr survival is <10%

27
Q

most common place SCC esophagus

A

mid-esophagus

strictures, dysphagia, odynophagia, obstruction

28
Q

what does histo SCC esophagus look like

A

keratin pearls

no mucin

29
Q

what are the parts of stomach and cells in each area

superior to inferior

A
cardia- mucous cells
fundus- parietal cells, chief cells
body
antrum- mucous cells, G cells
pylorus
30
Q

enterochromafin like cells in stomach secrete what

A

histamine

31
Q

G cells secrete?

D cells secrete?

A

G cells- gastrin

D cells- somatostatin

32
Q

chief cells secrete

A

pepsinogen and gastric lipase

33
Q

functions of gastrin

A

stimulate parietal cells and chief cells
contract LES
increase stomach motility
relax pyloric sphincter

34
Q

describe mucosa of stomach

A

superficial has specialized columnar cells

deeper has gastric puts with chief and parietal cells

35
Q

where are blood vessels, lymph and nerves in stomach

A

submucosa

36
Q

describe muscularis of stomach

A

outer zone for peristalsis: has outer longitudinal layer and internal circular layer
3rd layer of smooth muscle that is internal and oblique to the other layers

37
Q

describe serosa of stomach

A

thin zone CT

single layer mesothelial cells

38
Q

what is acute gastritis

A

acute mucosal inflammatory process of transient nature, Neutrophils present with or without ulceration

39
Q

acute hemorrhagic gastritis is assoc with what

A

NSAIDs like aspirin
heavy alcohol intake
heavy smoking
stress

40
Q

Tx stress gastric ulcers

A

PPIs

41
Q

stress ulcers are common in what patients

A

shock, burns, sepsis, severe trauma

critically ill

42
Q

what is gastropathy

A

repair process assoc with chronic episodes of acute gastritis
usually chemically induced

43
Q

how do Dx gastropathy

A

clinical

no signs.. sometimes pain vomtiing, maybe blood

44
Q

what cells are numerous in histo of acute gastritis

A

PMNs

45
Q

what do stress uclers look like on gross structure

A

black because there is digested blood (Hb) on surface

46
Q

what is chronic gastritis

A

presence of chronic mucosal inflammatory changes leading to atrophy and metaplasia usually in absence of erosions

47
Q

chronic gastritis is usually secondary to what

A

H pylori

48
Q

autoimmune gastritis is at increased risk for what

A

gastric cancer

49
Q

transmission H pylor

A

oral-fecal route

50
Q

gastritis assoc with H pylor attacks what part of stomach and patients at increase risk for what?

A

antrum

increased risk duodenal ulcer

51
Q

4 features H pylor virulence

A

flagella
urease- generates ammonia to elevate gastric pH
adhesins
toxins like cytotoxin assoc gene A

52
Q

What is hallmark of ongoign ifnection with H pylor

A

PMNs

53
Q

what does chronic inflammation from H pylori look like on histo

A

diffuse lymphocytic infiltrate and plasma cells in lamina propria
presence of lymphoid follicles= severe

54
Q

test for H pylor

A

swallow urea tagged with carbon 14 and then to breath test for C14
+ means H pylori present
